Biography
I am a PhD Candidate in Divinity at the University of Cambridge (Trinity Hall). I hold a Kirby Laing Studentship in New Testament and a Social Sciences, and Humanities Research Council Doctoral Fellowship. I have an MA in Biblical Languages and Exegesis from Briercrest Seminary, Canada.
My current research examines how Luke interprets the Torah. In particular, I investigate whether, and to what degree, Luke engages with the various mosaic discourses of Second Temple Judaism.
